I'm having a good time listening to mp3's of Twin Oakers at a concert a month ago. Wow, there's a lot of talent here, and Ezra put some of it on the network, so we can listen at leisure. I especially like a trio that's sprung up, with Ez on bass, Keith on drums, and Claire on keyboard. I look forward to hearing more from them. And Edmund playing... what's that horn called? It's curly and maybe is a sousaphone.
Yesterday I was in such a funk, I forgot about listening to Oakers in the Bijou performing Christmas music. I had to sit in my room with a candle and some incense, examining my thoughts, giving my hurts some attention. I was sad because my friend Willow's gone to Missouri for four months and I won't see her until April. And I had planned on going to Waynesboro yesterday also to work for EarthStar, but it didn't happen because there was no car signed out. I should've signed it out, but forgot, and couldn't figure out how to get a car, once I remembered after dinner on Monday night. The vehicles are assigned at dinner the day before for the next day. Sometimes when I forget, someone else signs it out, but that didn't happen this time, so Kyle and I had to stay home. I like that we have a system for sharing vehicles, and I wish I'd been able to get a car when I needed it. I've lived with this system for a long time, and have wondered how to improve it and haven't thought of anything that would work, besides having more cars.
So here it is, Christmas Eve, and my family didn't go to Kansas because there needs to be milkers on the farm. Oddly enough, I don't feel that needed in the dairy, and am somewhat resentful that I'm here. I am earning labor credits, anyway, I tell myself. But I still miss being home.
I read my friend Paxus' blog, and was disappointed I couldn't get to his latest post, because Blogger tells me that page doesn't exist. I've copied what my Dashboard has below. Wonder where the rest is.

Maybe, in this case at least, the car system is not at fault. Another benefit of living in community is that you have a network of people to help you out--which the rest of us EarthStar-ers failed to do. Perhaps in the future we non-drivers can at least take care of signing out a vehicle? Hopefully that would relieve a little bit of the unfair pressure that's on you as a driver. Just give me a refresher on how to do it and I'll be happy to take care of it in the future.
